Ending poverty through education and service. Lending a helping hand to support the dignity of every person. Why did I decide to document my experiences with this social issue? I believe that virtually every problem in the world can be solved with education and service, and I would like to prove that my hypothesis is true, at least in my corner of the world. Since 2007, I have found myself working with several homeless aid organizations. Because I am greatly moved by the goals and objectives of the Archdiocese of Baltimore’s Charities, I promote them as much as possible by recruiting my friends to volunteer at Sarah’s House shelter and participating in after school tutoring programs for underserved children. There are so many things you can do to help achieve A Maryland Without Poverty. I hope that you will use this blog as a resource and become an advocate!Tumblr (3.0; @amdwithoutpoverty)http://amdwithoutpoverty.tumblr.com/<p>The sweeter song&#8230;</p>http://amdwithoutpoverty.tumblr.com/post/50863838737http://amdwithoutpoverty.tumblr.com/post/50863838737Sun, 19 May 2013 19:54:54 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/fbc82cf0dda57b6ff2c618f8d44773b8/tumblr_mkroj73lXA1r6s7lmo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://amdwithoutpoverty.tumblr.com/post/50804411861http://amdwithoutpoverty.tumblr.com/post/50804411861Sun, 19 May 2013 05:51:01 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/a29d0d8979cd26991881d295a0355dbf/tumblr_mmmxh5yjHp1r6mdnjo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://amdwithoutpoverty.tumblr.com/post/50716042249http://amdwithoutpoverty.tumblr.com/post/50716042249Sat, 18 May 2013 04:36:11 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/8e3a809493d40070255cdc14435d86a2/tumblr_mj5tvgh2IR1rzlgoko1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/d372900c564bb3b4885d4a8df58955c8/tumblr_mj5tvgh2IR1rzlgoko2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/63ce432d332825300665a8fa9cbb2c4b/tumblr_mj5tvgh2IR1rzlgoko3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/41bac9f19120d742a30cb67d356849ed/tumblr_mj5tvgh2IR1rzlgoko4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://zenpencils.tumblr.com/post/44574925078/chris-hadfield-an-astronauts-advice">zenpencils</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>CHRIS HADFIELD An astronaut’s advice</p> </blockquote>http://amdwithoutpoverty.tumblr.com/post/50715609889http://amdwithoutpoverty.tumblr.com/post/50715609889Sat, 18 May 2013 04:21:54 -0400““A young husband should say to his bride: ‘I have taken you in my arms, and I love you, and I prefer you to my life itself.

I was sitting on the steps of the church because it is a lovely place to talk on the phone on a warm day. They invited me to join the picnic. I tied a hammock between a tree and light post under a thick canopy of white petals. Some of them had a pretty rough week, and I saw their burdens literally disappear before my eyes as they swung in the hammock. Watching them sort through some big problems and then completely relax and smile was a wonderful feeling.</p>http://amdwithoutpoverty.tumblr.com/post/49982578179http://amdwithoutpoverty.tumblr.com/post/49982578179Wed, 08 May 2013 22:20:33 -0400picnic<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/fe81ffff0ab38aca19de49c4687d15c9/tumblr_mmi9eiEzHF1rok1tjo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/297338995d55b5562d552fa0dd79b936/tumblr_mmi9eiEzHF1rok1tjo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/b1fef1b97bd9b306d4dae5e0fe866d98/tumblr_mmi9eiEzHF1rok1tjo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/ce7316470018c6859218d77072f8be11/tumblr_mmi9eiEzHF1rok1tjo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/e1825f512654b1a1a7ca4aeced4d9a3d/tumblr_mmi9eiEzHF1rok1tjo5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/>http://amdwithoutpoverty.tumblr.com/post/49973328667http://amdwithoutpoverty.tumblr.com/post/49973328667Wed, 08 May 2013 20:30:17 -0400villanova<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma5hf0hb1l1raiuqjo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://amdwithoutpoverty.tumblr.com/post/49852135729http://amdwithoutpoverty.tumblr.com/post/49852135729Tue, 07 May 2013 09:01:50 -0400“A gentleman introduces you to his parents, not his bedroom.”<br/><br/> - <em>Leah Darrow</em>http://amdwithoutpoverty.tumblr.com/post/49824996665http://amdwithoutpoverty.tumblr.com/post/49824996665Mon, 06 May 2013 22:24:47 -0400<p>I ain&#8217;t the kind you take home to Mama, I ain&#8217;t the kind to wear no ring.
